The worst was Utah. Seems strange but whatever. What really puzzled me was that OK was the 4th worst while TX was 45. So what is it about crossing the Red River that causes such a disparity? I like to think I have more in common with out Texas brethren than differences. I know we like to take verbal potshots back and forth and the sports rivalries, but are we really such different people in our social considerations for our fellow man? And yes, there have been a few times that my temper got the better of me and contributed to these statistics, but as I age I find myself just shrugging my shoulders and going on enjoying life (maybe with a little hope I see them up ahead in a ditch so I can honk and wave).

Texas drivers may be awful, but OK drivers get angry fast. Between the speed police who think it's their job to make sure no one goes faster than them, soccer moms driving full size SUVs that had to be somewhere 15 min ago, and the brodozers who want to go 100mph and think everyone just cut them off, we have some pretty ragey drivers.

I imagine the study has more to do with population, so in the great state of Oklahoma let’s say there’s 100 road rage cases per 100 thousand people, compared to Texas it’s 35 road rage cases per 100 thousand. Those aren’t the exact numbers from the study, but I believe that’s the way they come to their stats, I believe they use something like that in gun violence studies.

Texans drive north and seem to refuse to get out of the left lane.
